NCT06613945

Brief Summary

A prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate efficacy and safety of combined EUS-HGS and ERCP compared to ERCP for bilateral biliary decompression in advanced malignant hilar biliary obstruction. The primary outcome will be technical success, clinical success, procedural duration, and re-interventions. Secondary outcomes will be the rate of adverse events. patients will be followed up at 1 and 3 month intervals

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Technical success

    considered after stent placement (expanded and patent) with good bile flow and drainage

    during the procedure

  • Procedural duration

    defined as time from biliary cannulation to stent placement by ERCP, and time from needle puncture of the dilated bile duct to stent placement by EUS

    at the end of the procedure

  • Clinical success

    considered at 2 weeks by a 50% decrease in total bilirubin levels from baseline and at 4 weeks if total bilirubin is less than 3mg/dL.

    3 month

  • Re-interventions

    need for re-intervention to secure biliary drainage

    3 month

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Adverse events

    3 month

Study Arms (2)

Combined EUS-HGS and ERCP biliary drainage

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

unilateral metallic stent will be inserted on right side through ERCP and a hepaticogastrostomy transmural stent will be inserted on left side by EUS to secure biliary drainage

Procedure: Combined ERCP and EUS-HGS biliary drainage

ERCP biliary drainage

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

bilateral metallic stents insertion will be attempted through ERCP to secure biliary drainage

Procedure: ERCP biliary drainage

Interventions

bilateral metallic stents insertion will be attempted through ERCP to secure biliary drainage

ERCP biliary drainage

unilateral metallic stent will be inserted on right side by ERCP and a hepaticogastrostomy transmural stent will be inserted on left side by EUS to secure biliary drainage.

Combined EUS-HGS and ERCP biliary drainage
